Man o Man

So obviously it's been a while. A very long while.

Life got crazy. I went to Costa Rica. Picked up the boy. Came home together. Planned a wedding in a month. Got married. Now getting settled.

Kinda.

Now that it's March, it might be time to get back on plan.

I've been looking over various diets these past few days, and I need something that fits into life, and doesn't cost a ton of money.

I stumbled across a book that I had bought a few years back, skimmed and put in my (mother's) closet. It's called the G.I. Diet and it just lays things out really simple. It's about eating food that your body takes longer to process, so that way you feel fuller longer, and don't have to eat as much food.

Alot of the information is basic (low-sugar/fat, fat free, etc), lean meats, all veggies & fruits that you'd like, etc etc etc.

However, it just really reconfirmed that eating this way may take longer to lose weight, but it will stay off. It also explains why certain foods are better then others, and the best part no calorie counting. It's all about portions and feeling full, rather then counting anything!

So I'm going to start on Sunday. I have get some groceries and I'm OCD about starting plans in the middle of the week, sooo that leaves Sunday.

Since Lent started, I've not had one soda. Not diet. Not anything. Not even when eating out.

I feel alot better. I don't have the sugar surges or the caffine cravings, and the caffine withdrawl headaches have gone away. The other plus: drinking 5x more water is helping me feel better.

With the start of spring, I always want to start something new and healthy, and it seems that so far I'm sticking to it. Hubby and I have been going to the gym alot and have been avoiding eating out (other then datenights) to save money!

Here's to hoping it sticks!

Any new years spring resolutions for you?


I'll have more updates, and hopefully pictures to come as the days go on! :)
